Griff Rhys Jones in line for Oliver! return
Tuesday, 14 September 2010
Griff Rhys Jones is set to return to his role as Fagin in Oliver! at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
Rhys Jones played the role between December 2009 and June 2010 and is lined up to make a return to the musical this winter.
He will take over from current Fagin Russ Abbott, who has previously announced his intention to leave the role when his contract ends on December 4th, it has been reported.
Rhys Jones will then play the role until the show comes to the end of its run at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane on January 8th 2011.
The venue is then going to host Shrek The Musical, with previews taking place from May 7th before the show officially opens one month later.
Earlier this month, Shrek co-director Rob Ashford told the Daily Mail that Amanda Holden is going to dazzle audiences in her role as Princess Fiona.
